Hello - I don't remember exactly but just today my B123 service light came on, which includes transmission oil, I am at 132,000KM (Canadian)..


I remember doing my transmission oil, perhaps around 70 or 75,000 KM, (I cant remember exactly, but I must have did it based on the system telling me as I have been following this)


Does it make sense to come up again so quick? And should I go ahead and do it to be safe?


Please advise.


P.S. I have the FWD, so does transfer case differential apply to me?

It's about time to do another transmission oil change

No transfer case in FWD, and it is almost time for a fluid change as the member above posted.

You didn't state your model year but if a 2012+ I recommend changing the in-line transmission filter.

I would change it as other people recomend

The transmission holds about 10 quarts of fluid. Only 3.5 or so can be drained and replaced at once. So at 70,000KM only 35% of the fluid was changed. Changing it again will mean 56% of the fluid is new, 4th time will mean 80% of fluid is swapped and so on.

I honestly do the fluid changes with every oil change after 30K. It's cheap peace of mind. That way about 95% fluid is replaced over 8 oil changes. 10K an oil change is about 80K+30K=110K miles which seems like a great number to have brand new fluid by. Plus you do have to remember the fluid is always wearing down. For the $24 in fluid I'm not even blinking an eye.
